.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Fn rtrequest1
function is used to add or remove entries from a specific routing table.
It takes the following arguments:
.Bl -tag -width rtableid
.It Fa req
One of the following actions to perform:
.Bl -tag -width RTM_RESOLVE -offset indent
.It Dv RTM_ADD
Add an entry to a given routing table.
.It Dv RTM_DELETE
Remove an entry from a given routing table.
In case of a cloning entry, all its children are deleted.
.It Dv RTM_RESOLVE
Add a cloned entry, based on the parent cloning entry pointed by
.Fa rtp ,
to a given routing table.
.El
.It Fa info
Describes the routing entry to add or remove.
.It Fa prio
Specifies the priority of the routing entry described by
.Fa info .
If it is
.Dv 0
and the requested action is
.Dv RTM_ADD
then a default priority based on the priority of the associated
interface is chosen.
.It Fa rtp
Points to the cloning entry if the action is
.Dv RTM_RESOLVE
or, if the action is
.Dv RTM_DELETE
and it is non-NULL, a pointer to the removed entry is placed there.
In this case, the caller must take care of releasing the returned entry by
calling
.Xr rtfree 9 .
.It Fa rtableid
The ID of the routing table to modify.
.El
.Sh CONTEXT
.Fn rtrequest1
can be called during autoconf, from process context, or from interrupt context.
.Sh RETURN VALUES
.Fn rtrequest1
may fail with:
.Pp
.Bl -tag -width Er -compact
.It Bq Er EAFNOSUPPORT
The routing table with ID of
.Fa rtableid
does not exist or it does not support the protocol specified in
.Fa info .
.It Bq Er ESRCH
No routing entry corresponding to
.Fa info
could be found.
.It Bq Er ESRCH
Multipath routing entry with no gateway provided in
.Fa info .
.It Bq Er ESRCH
The entry could not be found in the routing table of ID
.Fa rtableid .
specified
.It Bq Er EINVAL
The entry pointed by
.Fa rtp
is not valid or does not point to a cloning entry in the
.Dv RTM_RESOLVE
case.
.It Bq Er EEXIST
Multipath routing entry conflicts with an existing one.
.It Bq Er EEXIST
The entry could not be entered into the routing table.
.It Bq Er ENOMEM
Space for MPLS protocol data could not be allocated.
.It Bq Er ENOBUFS
Space for a new routing entry could not be allocated.
.It Bq Er ENETUNREACH
An interface address corresponding to the routing entry described by
.Fa info
could not be found.
